Let Your Life Speak Days (Year 8 Connections)

Wednesday 7 June and Thursday 8 June

Year 8 students will be participating in their Let Your Life Speak Connections Days. These days aim to encourage students to extend themselves out of their comfort zone, form new connections, gain new skills and enhance their understanding of how the brain works to further develop their study skills.

 

Students will immerse themselves in peer-led and teacher-led activities, ranging from memory skills to cooking classes to mindfulness sessions. These sessions strongly align with our focus to promote ‘the academic, cultural, physical, social, emotional and spiritual development of each person in our care.’
